And it so happened that the enemies also had ways to detect starlight. It was precisely because of the Yin Xing Jue (引星诀) that the Xing Yin Sect (星隐门) could not escape the attack of powerful enemies back then.
Although Huang Yuzhong was not sure if there were still powerful enemies of the Xing Yin Sect, if the starlight from last night was discovered by those powerful enemies, they would certainly not let go of anyone who knew the Yin Xing Jue.
Therefore, Huang Yuzhong felt it was necessary to meet Liu Yilin as soon as possible to determine if she was the person he was looking for.
The Xing Yin Sect had an ancient sect rule.
That is, only those who cultivated the Yin Xing Jue were qualified to become the sect leader of Xing Yin Sect. Only by becoming the sect leader of Xing Yin Sect could they truly wield the treasures of Xing Yin Sect.
Although Huang Yuzhong was the contemporary sect leader of Xing Yin Sect, he did not know the Yin Xing Jue, which was rather awkward. Therefore, his position as sect leader was not legitimate.
As for why Huang Yuzhong, a real estate mogul, cared so much about the Xing Yin Sect, there was actually a reason. In terms of wealth, he, Huang Yuzhong, had more than he could spend in a lifetime.
Logically speaking, Huang Yuzhong would not care about the Xing Yin Sect or anything else. After all, the Xing Yin Sect had no disciples now, only him, a solitary sect leader.
As for reviving the Xing Yin Sect, it was a joke.
What era is it now? No matter how powerful martial arts are, they are no match for guns and cannons. Let alone you know kung fu, even if you have special abilities, can you withstand a missile attack?
However, this was just the thinking of ordinary people. If everyone thought this way, these sects would have long ceased to exist over the centuries.
The existence of sects naturally had its reasons; it was not as simple as fighting.
Take Huang Yuzhong for example. He was already a real estate mogul and had everything. He had enjoyed the best of everything, so why was he still so obsessed with the Xing Yin Sect?
In fact, for centuries, major sects and cultivators had been pursuing one thing, and that was... the unity of heaven and man (天人合一).
What is the unity of heaven and man? It is a realm beyond that of a grandmaster.
It is said that once one reaches the realm of the unity of heaven and man, one can extend their lifespan.
Although immortality was a vague legend, Ning Beichen was not sure if anyone could achieve immortality. However, there were indeed people who had reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man and lived for over three hundred years before dying.
For someone like Huang Yuzhong, who already had wealth, what else did he have to pursue?
Naturally, he hoped to live longer.
It was just that many people did not realize that among those who had achieved the unity of heaven and man back then, one of them was the sect leader of the Xing Yin Sect who cultivated the Yin Xing Jue.
However, the condition for cultivating the unity of heaven and man was to first become a grandmaster. Without the Yin Xing Jue, one could not become a grandmaster in the Xing Yin Sect. That was why Huang Yuzhong was so concerned about the Yin Xing Jue.
Just like Ning Beichen had no interest in the Jiu Gong Ce (九宫策) before, it was because he was not a grandmaster and even thought he would never have the chance to become one, so he was naturally not very interested.
But who would have thought that he would actually become a grandmaster? That was why he was interested in the Jiu Gong Ce.
And Huang Yuzhong was probably well aware that even if he really obtained the Yin Xing Jue, he might not have the opportunity to become a grandmaster.
But what if?
What if he could rely on the things left behind by the Xing Yin Sect?
Even if he failed, did he not have children?
Even if he did not consider himself, he would consider his children.
In the past, without any trace of the Yin Xing Jue, Huang Yuzhong naturally had no such thoughts. But now that the Yin Xing Jue had appeared, he naturally could not give up.
Even without the above thoughts, as the sect leader of the Xing Yin Sect, it was his responsibility to find the Yin Xing Jue.
"A Cai, please send a visiting card to Liu Yilin for me. I want to invite her for a banquet."
Huang Yuzhong put down his brush and said to his subordinate.
"Okay, boss."
A Cai immediately made arrangements and personally went to Tian Mei Technology Group to deliver the visiting card to Liu Yilin.
When Liu Yilin received Huang Yuzhong's visiting card, she called Ning Beichen over and let him look at Huang Yuzhong's visiting card.
"Beichen, this Huang Yuzhong said he wants to invite me for a banquet. I have no relation to him, nor do I know him well. What do you think... he means by this?"
Liu Yilin asked Ning Beichen in confusion.
Ning Beichen glanced at Huang Yuzhong's visiting card, put it down, and said to Liu Yilin.
"This is a visiting card used by people of the martial world. Huang Yuzhong is testing you."
"Testing me for what?"
Liu Yilin asked even more confused, as she was not a person of the martial world and knew nothing about such things.
"He is testing whether you are a person of the martial world and, at the same time, using this visiting card to let you know that he is a person of the martial world."
Ning Beichen replied.
"What nonsense is this."
Liu Yilin said with a headache. Such deep intentions were hidden in a simple visiting card.
Ning Beichen, on the other hand, had some thoughts and guesses, but he could not be sure yet, so he did not say too much to Liu Yilin for the time being.
Furthermore, Ning Beichen inwardly did not want Liu Yilin to get involved in these martial world matters.
So Ning Beichen regretted teaching her cultivation.
However, it was impossible to conceal it now, and it would not be good for Liu Yilin to keep concealing it. So Ning Beichen thought for a moment, walked over, closed the office door, and said to Liu Yilin with a wry smile.
"Yilin, I think you might have been implicated by me."
"What do you mean? When did you implicate me?"
Liu Yilin asked him in surprise.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be because of the cultivation technique I taught you."
"Do you remember I told you that the cultivation technique I taught you was not from my sect, but something I read from an ancient text?"
Ning Beichen said to her.
"I remember, but what does that have to do with you implicating me?"
Liu Yilin nodded.
"Do you remember how I found you that night?"
Ning Beichen continued.
"I remember you said that when I was cultivating, there would be special starlight appearing in the sky, and you could see this starlight, which is how you found my whereabouts."
Liu Yilin's high intelligence naturally did not forget what Ning Beichen had told her before.
"That's right. The cultivation technique I taught you is called Yin Xing Jue. It is the core cultivation method of an ancient sect called Xing Yin Sect. I originally thought the Xing Yin Sect had long ceased to exist, but now it seems that Huang Yuzhong's appearance there that night was not a coincidence. He should have also come pursuing the starlight."
Ning Beichen told Liu Yilin his guesses and analysis.
"You mean, that Huang Yuzhong might be related to the Xing Yin Sect?"
Liu Yilin was not foolish. She was even smarter than most people in the world and immediately understood what Ning Beichen meant.
"That's right, it's possible. Before, I only vaguely suspected it, but now that I've seen Huang Yuzhong's visiting card, I can be almost certain that he wants to see you to test you."
Ning Beichen said confidently.
